Cabe, you need to change your signature.

Hopefully it makes the June 1st opening date so we can play it on the 2nd.

Your problem is somewhat solved, but there are other courses not too far away. Owensboro has several. I haven't played any of them, but I'm told at least a couple of them are pretty nice, and it's probably about 25 miles or so south of Santa Claus. I have played Vastwood Park in Hawesville (across the river from Cannelton,) and I can vouch for it being a pretty good course. It's probably even close than Owensboro.

19 miles seems like a stretch, unless you are camping at Lincoln SP. I work near HW and it takes maybe 15 mins to get there and that includes going through Ferdinand (at 30 mph). Marcus is right, Vastwood is definitely fun as well, not sure how the mowing is there but I've heard its pretty on and off, I'd think it would be mowed being as close to Memorial Day weekend as it is. Patoka Lake (personal favorite) isn't far away as well.

We are staying a Lincoln SP this year. We flip-flop between there and Camp Rudolph each year. I never knew Vastwood existed so we will probably hit that one next year. Pretty pumped about playing a course the day after it opens. I live in Palmyra so Patoka is just a 30-35 min drive from the house.

Wampler: I'll change it when I hit #2. Radcliff could've just been a fluke.

delivery truck with the baskets broke down in Texas last Thursday so it will be at least this Thursday before the baskets arrive, doubtful it will be ready by this weekend.

That's a bummer! Looks like we will try and hit Vastwood this weekend.

Yeah it stinks, oh well what can you do, Vastwood is a blast, I love the elevation changes there.

Cabe,
If you're staying at Lincoln SP, Yellow Creek in Owensboro would be closest. Since they've expanded US 231, you can get to Yellow Creek in 15-20 minutes. It's right off of US 60/231. Also, I played Vastwood a few weeks ago and the rough was THICK. Yellow Creek is a much more enjoyable round, IMO.
